Two days ago, on a bit of a whim, I asked our readers to send in photos of where they live, so we could all enjoy a sense of the truly global 1P5 Community, and all the fascinating people and places that are a part of it.
After all, 1P5 is not just the people who write here. It’s all of you who read us, support us financially, pray for us, and share our work with your family and friends.
Well, you came through in a big way, and I really want to thank you. It’s so cool for us to have a chance to see where you all are out there, and to know that you have welcomed us into your lives.
Dozens of photos came in – over 80 of them at my last count – and I told you I’d share them all here, so here they are.
I’ve arranged them in a gallery below, but if you click on them, you can enlarge and view them as a slideshow, along with the captions that go with them.
Enjoy the photos, and have a great weekend!
P.S. – If you missed out on sending one in, or sent them in after I finished up the post, feel free to post them in the comments. You can do that by using this button in the comment box, right here:
